METHOD— OF -OPERATION
Introdm-clim
This Operations Plan contains detailed operational procedures designed to comply
with applicable regulations and guidelines. Additional procedures an, d constraints
have been incorporated based n Bio ro's previous land application experience
with the ultimate objective being a land application program that safeguards
public health, surface and groundwater supplies and provides an agronomic
benefit to the project ar
B. General Descrintion of Proiect
Initially, Bio Gro proposes to land -apply cake bidsolids frcarii the PPG Shelby
Wastewater Treatment Plant operated by PPG Industries:
Current production will be handled as a cabs of approximately 1 solids..
Cake sludge will be loaded at the treatment plants and then transported as a cake
material in dump trailers to permitted agricultural land application sins, Bio Grp
will land -apply sludge on approved sins in accordance with the operational,
procedures and rags established in the it. Application sags will be rotated
so as not to adversely impact local community transportation systemsG
Land Api2lipalionroc fare
1. Sludge Removal, Transport and Application _ Cabe Sludge
The calve sludge will be transported from the wastewater treatment facility
in dump trailers equipped d with spill wards, full mud flaps and sealed
tailgates to approved land -application sins.

The sludge will be deposited on the field, loaded into cake spreaders with
high flotation front-end loader and then distributed on the field from the
spreader. The cake spreader will either be a type which can be pulled
behind a farm tractor or the box will be mounted on the frame of a high
flotation land application vehicle.
Acceptable locations for sludge unloading or staging areas are determined
case -by -case by the project/field manager or his designee. Consideration
is given to the following factors: elevation to avoid low spats, lack of
slope, distance the application vehicle roust travel to apply the sludge, and
availability of truck access. In all cases, staging areas are selected so as
to allow coverage ofthe field from one field boarder and proceeding to the
opposite border so as to prevent "paintingoneself into a corner." This
method allows total coverage of the field such that the unloading vehicles
will not drive through areas where sludge has been applied.
The strode of application will be surface application with the sludge being
incorporated by discing within 48 hours after the sludge is applied,.
Discing will not occur on pasture and hay fields and on cropped field
where the farmer has adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a no -tall
or minimum tillage system.
Sludge distribution on theland application sites will be uniform throughout
the permitted area. To ensure adequate control of the application rate for
each site, the equipment used for spreading the sludge will be calibrated
by measuring the amount handled on a known square footage. While the
rate of discharge from the application vehicle is fixed, the speed of the
equipment can be adjusted to maintain the flow rate needed to achieve
specific application rates.
summary of equipment to be employed on the project is as follows:
a. dour to six tractor/dump trailer units. The number will vary
depending on travel time to land application sites,
b. Two rubber Bred front-end loaders .
c. One to two cafe spreaders with 1-14 vet toes' capacity. The
number will vary depending on the configuration of the land
application sites as it affects application time with efficiency. The
calve spreader boxes will either be a type which can be pulled
behind a farm tractor or the boy will be mounted on the frame of
a high flotation, land application vehicle,

d. A tractor and disc assembly, is to be used for sludge
incorporation.
Operations will be discontinued when soils are saturated and will not be
resumed until sufficient drying of the field has occurred.
The truck units will be inspected, licensed and appropriately marked as
required for the purpose of transporting the sludge material. To prevent
adherence of the sludge to the transport vehicle, the dump trailers will be
equipped with full rear mud flaps. This will preclude the sludge from
adhering to the tires and undercarriage of the transport vehicle, thereby
minimizing the possibility of sludge being tracked onto roadways, Sludge
adhering to the mud flap will be scraped off in the field before the truck
proceeds back to the roadway.
Sludge Removal Transport. and Anolication - Liquid Sludg Bio Gro plans to gravity load trucks from the digester tanks through a ten
inch line feeding the drying beds. A loading tower will be constructed as
the drying beds to top load the tankers. This method will be used as Iona
as the sludge will flow from the tanks, when the flow stops, it will be
pumped.
Liquid sludge will be removed from the digesters by pumping a Fl.ygt
Model CS-3151, six inch (6") submersible pump. The pump will be
suspended from a metal "A" frame secured to the top of the digester.
Water will be added as necessary through the use of a high pressure hose,
to liquefy the sludge and move it to the pump. The Flyat pump requires
three-phase electricalcurrent which will be obtained through the public
utility, or, if necessary, an on -site generator.
Sludge will be transported from the digesters in tractor/tank trailer units
to approved land application sites. The transport will deliver the sludge
to high -flotation land application vehicles stationed on the field receiving
p Z2
sludge. The sludge transfer will be through a suction hose and the land
application vehicle will perform all sludge distribution.
1�
Sludge distribution on the sites will be uniform throughout the distribution
Z� C�

area. The mode of application will be subsurface injection or surface
application followed by incorporation by discing. Injection and
incorporation wiU not occur on pasture and hay fields and on cropped
fields where the farmer has adequate crop residue and is to maintain
a no -till or minimum tillage system.
To ensure adequate control of the ,.application to for each site, the
equipment used for spreading the sludge will be calibrated by measuring
the amount handled on a known square footage. While the rate of
discharge from the application vehicle is fixed, the speed of the equipment
can be adjusted to maintain whatever flow rate is desired to achieve
specific application rates.
A summary of equipment to be employed on the project is as follows -
a) Totally enclosed, watertight tanker trucks of 6000-6500
galloncapacity._
b) High flotation land application vehicles of 2,000 to 4,000
gallon capacity.
C) A tractor and disc assembly for sludge incorporation.
Operations will be discontinued during periods of inclement weather and
will not be resumed until sufficient drying of the fields has occurred.
I
The truck units will be inspected, licensed and appropriately marked as
required for the purposes of transporting the sludge material.
I Site Operation
a. The principal method of application will be: cake sludge - surface
application with the sludge being incorporated by discing; liquid
sludge - injection. Discing, and injection will not occur on pasture
and hay fields and on cropped fields where the farmer has
adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a no -till or minimum
tillage system.
C)
b. The amount of sludge applied will be limited to the annual
allowable dry tons per acre as required by the permit for the site.
4. The following, buffer zones shall be rnaintmned-
a. 400 feet from residences under separate ownership for surface application
method,

b.
200 feet from residences under separate ownership for injection method,
C.
100 feet from "SA and Sly" classified waters and public surface water
supplies for both methods,
d.
50 feet from "WS" classified waters and other streams, creeks, takes,
rivers, and surface water drainage ways for injection method,
e.
100 feet from "WS" classified waters and other streams, creeks, lakes,
rivers and surface water drainage ways for surface application method,
f.
50 feet from property lines for both methods,
9.
50 feet from public right of ways for surface application method,
h.
10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for
both methods,
L
25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions,
groundwater drainage systems and surface drainage ditches for both
methods,
j.
Buffer zones will be flagged and no sludge will be applied within the
buffer zones. The most restnctive buffer will apply in combined
situations.
k.
Operational Provisions will be taken to prevent soil loss through erosion.
Provisions will include contour application and avoidance of areas where
surface drainage patters result in concentrated flow of runoff from rainfall.
1.
Seasonably wet areas are of concern only during very brief periods of the
year with abnormally high precipitation, usually during the months of
December through March. In the unlikely event that such seasonal
ponding, does occur when Bio Gro would normally be applying sludge,
these areas will be buffered by flagging. In addition, good agronomic
practice requires that areas which are unseasonably wet and would
produce rutting or dame t' ge to the field will not be utilized for sludge
application operations during those periods.
M.
The amount of sludge applied will not exceed the hydraulic capacity of the
soil at the time of each application. If a subsequent pass across a field is
necessary to achieve the desired application rate, sufficient drying time
will be allowed between passes.
n.
Operations will be discontinued when soils are saturated and will not be
resumed until sufficient drying of the field has occurred.

Sludge may be applied on frozen ground that has crop residue sufficient
to prevent surface runoff. During such application, the maximum slope
to which sludge will be applied will be five percent,
P. A minimum of 36 inches of soil will be maintained between the deepest
j point of sludge injection and bedrock or the highest elevation of seasonal
high water table condition during theperiod of applications
. Soil pH should be adjusted to 6.5 or higher at the time of application..
r. Crops for direct human consumption with the harvested edible portion in
contact with the sludge -amended soil shall not be planted for a pentad of
18 months following the last application as defused in The U.S. P 's
1979 regulations on land applications 40 CFR 7. -0),
S. Public access to sites which have had sludge applied will be controlled for
a period of 12 months from the time of the last sludge application,.
is Sludge shall not be applied on areas exceeding 18 percent slope for
injection or surface application with incorporation and 10 percent for
surface application without incorporation.
d. All grazing by animals whose products are consumed by humans must be
prevented for one month following the last application event; Any hay or
forme hat -vested during this same time period will .not be fed to these.

will include.
a. Flagging of buffers prior to application.
b. Control of the amount of sludge delivered to each geld.
C. Formal field inspection each operating day. The fief inspection shall
include ensuring that. flags are in place„ sludge is applied uniformly at
the designated application rate, setbacks e observed, trucks are
unloading at best location, trucks are not driving over sludge, trucks are
cleaned before leaving the field and the land application equipment is
maintained in working condition..

2. Spill prevention and Control
In the unlikely event of a spill, pio Gro will take the following action
immediately.
a. Halt Source of spill. Use of any leaking or damaged unit which
is causing the spill will cease immediately, The unit will be
repaired before resuming its use.
b. Contain Spill. In the event large quantities of sludge have been
spilled, straw bales will be used where available to either form a
barrier or soak -up sludge.
C. Clean -Up. Depending on the type and amount of sludge spill
a variety of equipment may be used to remove the sludge: front-
end loader, shovels and, brooms and vacuum equipment of a liquid
sludge applicator. Any sludge removed from the spill site will be
spread on an approved application site.
d. Final Clean -Up. plush roadways with water or sweep as necessary
to clean. Allow to dry and incorporate if spill occurs on non -
paved and tillable area. In the event a spill curs on private
property, final clean-up should be completed immediately to the
satisfaction of the owner.
e. Management of Clean -Up Efforts, The project tanager will take
immediate charge and initiate clean-up activities. Bice Gro labor
ill be used, with additional labor secured as needed. The project
manager will also communicate with the public on the scene,
answering questions and advising of clean-up activities,

office, a written report detailing how the spill occurred and remedial action
taken.
g, Spill Prevention. Project manager will take the following steps:
1) Ensure truck drivers watch trailer while loading and do not overload.
2) Ensure trailer hatches are closed and latched while transporting,
3) Inspect trailer seals daily and replace as necessary.
4) Ensure unloading operations in the field are conducted to minimize any
potential runoff or tracking.
I Safety
Careful attention to safe working conditions and methods of operation (e.1g, the
proper method of lifting heavy objects and the operation of heavy equipment only
by trained and competent operators) should preclude most of the potential for safety
hazards in the land application operation. Should an accident occur, the project
manacrer will be informed immediately and will thoroughly investigate and
complete an accident report, including the workartan's compensation and liability
forms, He will notify City of LincoInton of any accidents.
First -aid kits and manuals will be kept on -site at the field, as well as in the
transport vehicles.
The implementation of all safety and housekeeping procedures will be the
responsibility of the project manager, The project rnamager will maintain the work
areas so as to protect the health and safety of all personnel using the areas.
E. Monitoring and Reporting
1. Description
rhis; section describes the internal controls employed by Bio Ciro to ensure compliance
with established dosage rates and the procedures for preparina reports of land
application operations,
Land application activities are monitored on a daily basis through the use of Truck
Reports and Daily Reports and on a weekly basis through the use of a Weekly Report.
These reports, along with the sludge analysis report, provide the data used for
preparation of monthly and annual reports.
A Field Report is prepared monthly to portray activity for each field receiving sludge

during the reporting period. It specifies the amount of sludge applied; the method(s)
of application; nutrient and trace metal loadings (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc,
copper, lead, nickel and cadmium); date of application and the lifetime additions of
metals.
A Monthly Report includes a Dosage Rate Evaluations for each sludge applied,
(including sludge chemical analyses), and a Field Report for each field to which sludge
is applied.
Monthly Reports will be submitted to the regional office of the North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and the City of Lincolnton.
F. Site SelectiLon and Submittal
Prospective sites for receiving sludge are inspected by Bio Gro personnel and evaluated
for suitability.
The site -specific information included for each site is listed below:
1. Field Summary, Sheet
A Field Summary Sheet of the Fields proposed for sludge application, field acreage,
and the owner of each field.
2. Owner/Operator Agreements
Copies of signed agreements secured from the farm operator and landowner.
1
1 Field Data Sheet - Soils Information
A Field Data Sheet fbrmat for displaying essential data reaarding each field within
a site. Nearly all sites will contain more than one field or plot.
4. Soils
A soils map of the site en from the Soil Conservation Service (SS) Soil Survey
Manual will be provided when a current published or interim SS soil survey is
available,
Each field will be sampled by taking a number of cores and mixing them to form
a composite sample. The cores will be obtained with a tube -type soil sampler (one -
inch diameter) by first scraping away surface litter and then inserting the sampler
to plant -root depth, eight inches for row crops, or a depth of four inches for
pastureland. The cores will be talken while walking a "'rig-zag" pattern across the

field so as to obtain a representative sample of the particular field (see following
illustration). TYPICAL SOIL SAMPLING PATTERN
Care will be taken to avoid areas or soil conditions that, are different, such as
fertilizer spills, poorly drained areas, dead furrows, fertilizer bands, or any other
unusual areas, After mixing, the composite sample will be packaged and sent to
a laboratory for analysis.
Soil samples will be evaluated for Cation Exchange Capacity, pH and plant
nutrients. Results of soil analyses will be included in the site package.
5. Flood Plain Nfap
Each field is examined to Bete-Irriirie wheth,-r any portion is in the 100 year flloo�
plwii, If it is determined that a field is 1r, the t1ood plain a map is included to
show to what extent.
6, Topographic i,,,1ap
A topographic map of the site is provided. The USGS 7.5 minute quad:-ar.ggle, if
available, will be used as the base on which, the Field will be sho�vn.
7ite Plan
A site plan outlining boundaries and buffer zones on an aerial photograph,,
8. Vicinity Map
A vicinity map will be provided indicatiricr the 'gerieral vicinity of the site in
relation to country roadways.
Once a site has received approval for land application, the site is placed in an eli'gible
category. Landowners are contacted frequently regarding the site availability. When
the harvest schedule is ',--nown or a site other" ise becomes available, it is placed on an
active list which is updated according to project needs.
As the project progresses, additional sites will be selected for land application. These
sites will be submitted on a periodic basis for review and approval by the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.

G. Crons and Dg5age Rate Selection
Land application of sludge will be limited to field crops including corn, soybeans, small
grains, grasses and alfalfa. Actual dosage rates will be determined by the nitrogen
requirement for the crop to be produced. The crop nitrogen requirement is a function
of crop selection and yield goal.
Sludge application rates for City of Lincolnton sludges will be limited by either nitrogen
or annual allowable cadmium loadings,
When sludge application rates are limited by nitrogen, the rates shall not exceed the
following crop nitrogen requirements taken from Table 5-3 General Guidelines for Land
TLeatment-of Sludge, L. D. King and P. W. Westerman, August 1983.

Several factors should be taken into consideration in determining sites
agricultural suitability to receive bLosolids. These factors are soils, crop
rotations, loading rates and nutrient requirements.
The crop types and cropping schedules are investigated prior to a site being
considered as a biosolids application site. The sites in this submittal consist
of row crop (corn, soybeans, small grains) with some permanent pasture and hay
Biosolids analysis information is reviewed to determine the most limiting
application rate factor. For this project nitrogen is the most limiting factor.
When applying to row crops, blosolids will be applied prior to planting or
after harvest (this would provide nutrients for the next planting) , Timing of
application is important with permanent pasture and hay crops. Blosolids should
be applied on these crops after grazing period or hay cutting.
Soil testing of the sites included in this application indicates that soil
pH 5.5 - 6.4 on most sites. 'The lime recommendations are generally made based
on raising the pH to a standard of 6.5. The nutrient requirements are a direct
function of specific crop needs. Recommendations found in the University System
and Extension service publications, crop fertilization based on soil tests, for
specific crops should be used to determine nutrient requirements. Application
reates are based on the annual nitrogen requirements for each particular crop
being grown. This application rate will also supply sufficient phosphorus for
plant growth. In many instances such as with zinc, sulphur, and copper essential
micro -nutrients are also supplied to the plant. The resulting trace metal
loadings at nitrogen limited rates are minimal. Because of the low levels of
metal additions there is no cause for concern with regard to concentration of
metals in plant tissues. Salt additions at these application rates do not pose
a problem. In general salts are not a problem in humid and sub humid regions
because there is sufficient rainfall to leach them down through the soil profile
and away from the crop root zone.
The crop being grown on the site in this submittal are primarily corn,
soybeans, wheat, other small grains, permanent pasture and hay. There are no
restrictions on harvesting and marketing this crop other than there shall be no
animals grazing on biosolids applied fields for 30 days following application.
My review of the soils and crop rotations proposed for this project find the
submitted sites to be suitable for the land application of sludge.

Residual Nitrogen Mineralization Calculations
Since biosolids from the PPG Shelby are anaerobically digested, a
mineralization rate of 20 was utilized. While most of the
mineralizable organic nitrogen in biosolids is converted to
inorganic nitrogen in the year it is applied, there is some
continued decomposition of organic nitrogen in succeeding years.
This continued decomposition of organic nitrogen can provide a
small portion of the nitrogen needed for crop growth in subsequent
years. It is important to note, however, that agricultural
fertilization including biosolids utilization is not an exact
science, but rather a science of averages. This is especially true
because weather conditions effect so -many agricultural parameters
including mineralization. Mineralization rates and estimates of
organic nitrogen released in subsequent years used by State and
Federal regulators are average values for specific types of
biosolids. Because these are average values and because of the
very small amount of nitrogen mineralized in subsequent years, it
is somewhat risky for the farmer to rely on carry-over nitrogen for
crop production.
It is incorrect to assume that the same acreage would be used for
five years and that the most conservative application rate would be
applied (small grain). If the lowest application rate was used,
the project would require 278.87 acres per year.
There is no way of accurately calculating residual nitrogen loading
for five years because the PAN and organic nitrogen number for each
year will be different. Also the amount of sludge to be land
applied annually may change over a five year period.
Based on the above inf ormation And the f act that PPG Shelby
currently is using land filling calculating five years worth of
�nitrogen, tftineralization would be meaningless.

Dear Sir:
Reference: Permit No. WQ0001055, PPG Industries
Land Application of Sludge
Under Section I, Performance Standards, item 10, requires that an
evaluation of sludge stabilization to reduce pathogens be
submitted within six months of the permit date (March 12, 1990).
The attached information, outlining our treatment process and
sludge handling methods, is submitted to comply with this
requirement.
We feel that our treatment system significantly reduces pathogens
and may qualify under the "other methods" listed in 40 CFR Part
257, Appendix II. The fecal coliform populations in the
treatment plant effluent may be some indication in that the
colifo,rm count has averaged 6/100 -ml, with a maximum of 142/100
ml, during the past eighteen months, without the addition of
chlorine.

If there are and questions or additional action needs to be taken

Carolina's groundwater, the referenced Permit requires
several activities related to groundwater onit rin . The
following guidelines are presented to assist you in
complying with these requirements. o have any
questions concerning these matters, you should contact Don
Link at the address shown below to discuss the requirements
relevant to your specific facility:

Condition No. l The installation of monitor wells a
approved by the Department's Asheville Regional Office. The
North Carolina well Construction Standards 15 NCAC 2C .010
require that a Permit be issued prior to construction of an
monitoring well, and therefore permit application foes are
attached for your convenience. To facilitate the permitting
process, you should contact the appropriate Regional office
personnel as described above, to discuss the location and
construction requirements relevant to your specific
facility.

NOTE: Please disregard the above if the installation of
monitoring wells has already been completed.
Condition No. IV-4: Sampling of the referenced wells on the
schedule and for the constituents listed below:
SCHEDULE: The monitor wells must be sampled initially
after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every
lebruary, June and September.
CQN_STITUENTS*.
NO (10 0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TDA (506.0) Total Col iforms (1/100ml)
TOC pH (6.5-8.5 standard units)
Chloride (250.0) Orthophosphate
Phenol Water Level
Analyse initially, and thereafter in September
only for :
1. chlorofluorocarbons
2. 1,6 - docyanto-hexane
3. 1,1'- (Phenylene) bis-ethan one isomer
4. 2,2'- dithiobis-benzothiazole
5. cyclohexanes
6. hydrocarbons
7. 4,4'- (1-methylethylidene) bis-Phenol
8. Amides
9. 1,1,2,2, - tetra chloroethane
10. sec-lutylethylbenzene
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to
sampling for the remaining parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable
concentrations in 0'roundwat,gr for the various analytical
parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L [Groundwater
Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise specified,
the units for these concentrations are expressed as
milligrams per liter.
If TO C concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in
any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and
analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC
concentration as measured in the b4gkq-Lound monitor well
exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occuring TOC concentration. Any
exceedances of this naturally occuring TOC concentration in
the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above.

A supply of forms W- n which the analytical
results must be reported are attached. Instructions are
provided can the reverse of the white copy of each -part
form. The analytical results should be :sent to the address
shown at the top of the form and are due in our office n
later than the last working day of the month following

THROUGH: Bob Cheek
FROM: . ill Reid)k'6- fih""" 11 b" t 10''
SUBJECT: PPG Industries Shelby Plant
Land Application of Sludge
Cleveland County
WQ0001055/GW89021
Carolyn McCaskill: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
application and offers the following comments and recommendations. t
is noted from the submitted information that only 55 acres of land are
presently available for land application, and that an additional,
101 .25 acres will be needed to accommodate the total yearly ludg ',
production. We therefore recommend that the facility be permitted for
only that amount of sludge which can be applied given the amount of
acreage currently available (55acres). Using the proposed
application rate of 37,800 gallons per Gore;( .5 dry tons per acre),
the amount of ,sludge that can be applied would be 2,079,000 gallons
per acre per year (55 dry tons per acre per year),.
The proposed sites are considered to be dedicated sites. Several
analyses of the sludge have tentatively identified several organic
compounds at concentrations, ranging from 100 ppm to about 700 ppm
some of which are moderately toxic. Based upon available information
concerning the fate of these compounds when land applied, it is our
opinion that both soils and groundwater monitoring are necessary for
the land application sites. The Groundwater Section recommends
issuance of the permit with the following conditions:
1. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, five (5
monitor wells, 1 upg'radi.ent and 4 downgradient, shall b
installed to monitor groundwater quality. The location an
construction details for these wells shall be approved b'
the Asheville regional Office;, from which a well
construction permit mist be obtained.
The monitor wells shall be sampled initially after
construction (and prior to waste disposal operations) and
thereafter every February, June and September for the
following parameters:

NO 10. ) Ammonia Nitrogen
) TO
p . , -. 5 standard units) Water Level
Chloride 250 . 0) Total C" l.iforms 1 1 00ml )
Orthophosphate phenol
In addition to the parameters listed above, the following
compounds, ends, which were tentatively identified in the sludge,
shall be analyzed for initially, and thereafter during the
September sampling event only. The analytical method used
should be the appropriate EPA- approved method having the
lowest detection limit.
1) Chlorofluorocarbons
2) 1,6 _ di«i ocyanto - Hexane
) 1,1' Phenyl.ene)bi - Ethanone isomer
) 2, 2" - D thibbin - Een othia le
5) Cyclohexanes
) Hydrocarbon
7) , ° - 1- ethylethyl.idene) bi- phenol
) Amides
1 , 1 2, - ttraeholocethane
1 ) Sec - Lutylethylbenzene
The measurement of water le,, l must be made prior to
sampling for the remaining' parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable
concentrations in groundwater for the various analytical
parameters, as specifiedin 15 NCAC2L [Groundwater
Classifications and Standards]. unless otherwise specified,
the units for these concentrations are expressed a
milligrams per liter.
f T C concentrations greater than. 10 mg/1 are detected in
any downgradient monitoring well additional sampling and
analysis mast be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TO
concentration as measured in the back r a nd monitor well
exceeds 10 m , this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any
e ceeda.nces of this naturally occurring O concentration in
the do n radient cells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above.
The results of the sampling and analysis :shall be sent to
the N.C. Division of Environmental Management on Form CAW- 5
[Compliance Monitoring ReportForm] every March,, July° and
October.

3 » The ComDliance Boundary for the sludge disposal fields is
specified by regulations in 15 NA - 2 , Groundwater
Classifications and Standards. An exceedance of groundwater
Quality Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject
to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute
3215.5 ( 1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee,
which is within or contiguous to the disposal site, may
alter the location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the
Compliance Boundary is established at the lesser t 250 feet
from the sludge disposal fields, or 50 feet within the
property ' boundary.
If the title to any property ` which may affect the location
of the Compliance Boundary is changed, the Ror ittoe shall
notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be
done as a acidification to the Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the sludge disposal fields is
specified by regulations i .15 NCAC 2L, groundwater";
Classifications and. Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems ? midway ray between ee the
Compliance undary and the perimeter of the waste disposal
area When the concentration of any substance equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable concentration, of that
substance at. the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by
monitoring, oring, the permittee shall either i demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling,, that natural,
site conditions, facility design and operational controls
will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary; ! r', (i.i) submit a plain for the alteration of
existing site conditions, facility design or operational:
controls that: will prevent a violation of standards at the
Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its
approval by the Director.

4. Any wells located on the land application sites which are no
banger in use, shall he properly abandoned in accordance
with procedures outline in 15 NCAC ell Construction
Standards].
. No sludge shall he applied within 400 feet of a residence,
or within 1feet of a water- supply well.
. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, and thereafter
in February and September, soil samples ,shall be collected
from Field No. 11, from minimum ur of six () locations n
the disposal site.
Each sample will be composed of the vertical column of soil,
extending froze a: depth of two ( feet to three () :feet,
and collected by using a soil. anger, Shelby Tube or
split -spoon sampler.
Two () groups of tree () samples shall be thoroughly
mixed into two () samples, and a representative portion of
°the two () resultantcompoai.ted samples analyzed for
acid/baseacid/base neutral extractable (as per EPA Method )' .
copy of the laboratory results of the soil analyses shall
be submitted to the Asheville Regional Office, to thou
attention of the Regional"Hydrogeological Supervisor, within
thirty (30) days of sample collection.
7. .any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed
necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

Dear Ms. Tl raman
SUBJECT, Review of Waste thraraccer;ist'.ts, PPE' ln&I.SLI:r''s,
Shelby, North Carolina
An analysis of both the base neutral and acid'. extractible or arics was
received. The analysis indicates that most of the specific organic zhemzcal
normally evaluatedd by method 8270 were not found in the sample above .:h
detection level. This is not to ;gay that those chemical compounds wefe not
present, only that they were riot present at levels, that could be der#cced> The
compound that was detected was Oi-n-buts l phthalate B ). This ^W,; a common
plasticizer. plasticizers are a class of chemicals which are add r plastics
tea peep theirs from becoming brittle
arwi,n and Euswell (1934), Scald and Presson (1957), and Klausrneirr and Jonas
(1960) all examined the bio-degradability of plasticizers in soil environments.
'these researchers found that soil microbes were capable, of growing on DBT as a
substrate or carbon source. The general class of phthalates- appears to degrade
to phthalic acid which can also be used as a carbon source or substrate: for
microbial growth:-
There were several non -target compounds which may have been detected in the
sample. of the non -target compounds detected, there is some : evidence that ethyl
benzene and other organic solvents will degrade in, the plant soil environment.
Research by Gibson 1974) indicates that pseadomonas, a common soil bacteria,
will use ethyl; enzene as a growth: substrate or Carbon source. In general;,; the
plant/soil system will respond favorably to solvents. Response to solvents
depends upon the concentration of the applied material and the relative,
volatility of the applied compound. At moderate application rates rvecash
(1979) reports that organic solvents are easily assimilated into the plant/soil
environment.. as dose level increases, solvent metabolizing microbes develop and
there is maintenarice of a stable population of soil microbes which will utilize
solvents as substrate for growth. If the level of solvent addition increases
above a critical dose level, then there may be some adverse affect on the microbe
population in the soil., dearly, this situation cannot be tolerated and loadings
roust be determined which are below the critical dose level. Formaldehyde, with a
critical dose level with 300 ppm, is one of the most toxic of the solvents to
micro --organisms reported by Ovver'ca h (1979). This low critical chase or soil
level indicates that reduction in vitality of organisms can be excepted for

approximately 3 weeks Col lowish; application of formaldehyde in a concentration to
exceed the critical dose level of 300 ppm.
The proposed application rate for PPG Industries is approximately 9.6 dry
tons/ac/yr. The mass load for the compounds detected can be calculated as:
1, 1, 2, 2-Tetrachloroethane; 130 ppm x oo2 x 9.6 = 2.496 lb/ac/yr
1, J-(1, 3-Phenylene) Bis Ethane; 58 pPm x .002 x 9.6 = 1.114 lb/ac/yt-
Sep -Lutylethyl Benzene; 27 ppm x 002 x 9.6 .519 lb/ac/yr
Di-n-Butyl PhthaLate; 257 ppm x .002 x 9.6 = 4,934 lb/ac/yr.
Assuming there is a minimum of 2 feet of soil material present og the waste
receiver site and at the weight of the soil material is 3.9 x 10 lb/a:/ft then
the addition of these organic compounds LocalLing approximately 10.062 lb/adyr
will have a soil COWCULratiOn Of 1.2 85 ppm on a soil weight basis. Clearly,
this is below the 300 ppm ovicical Level for formaldehyde reported by Overcash
(1979). The level of organics applied is 10" Soil sampling should following
waste application events to determined the level of selected target and non -
target organics C-Onsuit0ents in the soil. Race of degradation is difficult to
determine on field plots. Presence or absence Of target and non -target organics
could be determined approximately 3 to 4 weeks following waste application
events. The nature of the medium, that,is the high solids content, the presence
of organic matter) and Lhe low application race of organics would make sampling
for these organics extremely difficult and very costlY.

and seeing this project through to complecion. I appreciate the opportunity to

Land Application of Sludge
Cleveland County
WQ0001055/GW89021
(Carolyn McCaskill: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
On February 1, 1989 the Groundwater Section requested
additional information concerning the subject project. one
of the items requested was an organics analysis of a sample
of the � ,pical s,ludge which was to be land applied. Beco,jse
the project consultant was waiting for the anal.ytical
results from the laboratory, we did not receive this data
until April 10, 1989. The results of the submitted organics
analyses indicate detection limits which are significantly
higher than the practical quantitation limits specified in
EPA Manual SW-846, Vol. 11 for EPA Method 8270. The
laboratory report states that "normal detection limits could
not be attained for this sample because of high levels of
soluble organic materials". Discussions with our staff
organic chemist indicate that additional sample preparation
techniques can be utilized to try and solve this type of
problem. The reported results indicating that no target
compounds were detected at the higher detection limits are
therefore considered inconclusive. The laboratory report
also states that the following non -target compounds were
detected:
�"_eatsL)24nd Estimated Concentration
Unknown, possibly amide 700 ppin
1,1,2,2, - Tetrachloroetbane 130 ppm
1,1-(1,3-phenlene) bis ethanone 58 ppm
Sec-Butylethylbenzene 27 pp
These results indicate that significant levels of
either unknown or known organic compounds are present in the
sludge. As such, several questions remain which need to be

NIF
addressed before we n complete our, l tion of the
project. The unknown compound detected t a concentration
of 700 ppm should be identified. The laboratory eport
pr indicated that this compound right possibly be an amide but
did not explain on what basis this conclusion was made. The
applicant should a, i.so explain the nature of
1 , l - (1, - feel :ne) b i s etbanone, a compound wh i cb we are
unable to identify. Also, since normal detection limit
were unattainable O.-Lie to high levels of soluble organic
compounds, separation of these compounds from the sample may
facilitate the identification and q-Li nti f'i cation f the
ta,rget compounds t the detection "Limits specified by the,
in order to Bally answer these questions the applicant
will have to re -sample the sludge for further analysis.
Since this will. probably require an additional 30 to 60 days
to complete, we feel- that it may be best to return the
project as incomplete. once the analytical questions have
been addressed, the application could be e-sauabritted
If you have any questions concerning these matters,
phase advise.

Dear Mr. Lin
As you have: requested in your May 23 letter, we have resampled well number
Q850. The samples were taken on .tuna 19 and analyzed by %o rpuCho r
Laboratories at research Triangle Park. The sample was identified a -07 0.
of pu her rani a analysis for volitala priority pollutants with ;a library
search to identify any unknowns. Analysis of sample for the 29 volatile
organic- compounds found none above the detection licit of the method. Method,
EPA 624)Detection limits for most items, including toluene and
1,1,1-trichloroetb,ane are listed as 10 parts per billion.
In addition to the priority pollutant analysis, Method 625 was run for acid
and base/neutral organics, with a library search for the unknowns.
Noire of the 57 specific compounds listed as part of the me hodds ere found at
levels above the detection limit, usually 11 parts per trillion. Two unknown
peals were found but were not identified in the NBS library search.
This survey should establish that there is no armor problem with organics in
the groundwater at the #3 well. l have had ome difficulty locating a lab
that normally runs EPA Methods 601 and 602 to the detection limits listed in
your letter.: Trichloroethane 0.03 ppb and toluene, 0.2 p b e will
continue to work on this and; provide results as soon as possible.

METHOD REFERENCE
CompuChemO employs Method 624 for the GC/MS analysis of volatile priority pollutant
organics in liquid matrices. This method is published in Volume 49, October 26,
1984 Federal Register.
As stated in the October 1984 reference, "An inert gas is bubbled through a 5 ml
sample contained in a specially designed purging chamber at ambient temperature.
The purgeables are efficiently transferred from the aqueous phase to the vapor
phase. The vapor is swept through a sorbent column where the purgeables, are
trapped. After purging is completed, the sorbent column is heated and backflushed
with the inert gas to desorb the purgeables onto a gas chromatographic column."
which are then detected with a mass spectrometer." Unknown compounds are
tentatively identified by comparison to the National Bureau of Standards (PIES}
mass spectral library.
The referenced methods are no longer appropriate for several of the original
priority pollutant compounds. This is due to either the deletion from the
toxic pollutant list (40 CFR Part 401) by EPA or the determination by EPA that
the referenced methods may not be optimized for certain compounds (EPA-600/4-
82-057) originally incorporated by the methods.
Those compounds which have actually been deleted are listed below with the Federal
Register deletion reference.

urrp�ates Recoveries - Introduced at the
beginning of the extraction,
surrogate
standards- are euterated ands select
compounds that analytically
runic the
response of certain anal,tes. Known concentrations
of these surrogates are added
to the sample and a percent recovery is
calculated. This recovery
acts as a baro-
meter of extraction efficiency and analytical
response for the individual
sample.

QUALITY ASSURANCE NOTICE
Sample# 9075
Surrogate recoveries for the Acid fraction of this sample fell
outside quality control limits in both the original and repeated extrac-
tions. These recoveries could not be attributed to errors in calculations,
instrument performance, surrogate or internal standard solutions or sample
preparation. As a result, we have attributed these surrogate recoveries to
the particular sample matrix rather than laboratory error.
